Hanukkah is a Jewish festival celebrating the recovery of Jerusalem at the beginning of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire. Hanukkah is celebrated through eight days, in which, gifts are given, candles are lit, and families are brought together. This year, Hanukkah begins at sundown on November 28th and ends on December 6th.

Christmas is a Christian holiday celebrated on the 25th of December. This is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. On this day, little ones wake up to gifts from family members and Santa Claus beneath a lit tree.
